Azarov has not noticed price rise in supermarkets

Prime Minister Mykola Azarov considers information about increase in food prices in Ukraine to be rumors.

"The prices are within the range, which I check every day. I make sure that specialists give me truthful information. I can ask customers: maybe such prices were hung before my arrival. I think it is not so. I asked buyers, by the way. Most likely, the pricing have been stable. It is stable despite all the rumors about the alleged price increase," Azarov said, visiting a supermarket in the Kyiv city center.

"If price cuts depended on my arrival, I would go to shops every day for half an hour," the PM said.
